Just went to lunch and when I started my car I get the CHECK GAGES icon in the HUD and the ABS and TC icons are lite in the gauges and the DIC is displaying SERVICE ABS, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL and SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING.

The car is going to the dealer tonight, but would like to know the most likely cause and repair.

Thanks

Could be as simple as a bad battery. Could be a fluke, its done it to me before. You can go into diagnostics mode and clear the codes and if it turns off the icons you will be fine. Or the fuse "40amp" blew. But this normally only happens during a situation that involves the pump motor activating. Good Luck!

Check the battery and ground points first. If you take it to "them" and you have a shyster service guy, they're liable to screw something else up.

Had the same problem and tightened my ground wires.
Most likely the one near the left rear tire, drivers left.
I think it is either 401 or 402.
Loosened it, cleaned it with electrical cleaner and tightened it back up again.
Hope this helps.

It went in to the dealer at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. I trust these guys so I have no fear of any BS. I'm under warranty so cost isn't an issue. I just wanted to be armed with some knowledge when they complete the work and I pick it up. I'll report their findings and fix when I get the car back.

Will they need access to the OBD port? I have a Top Down Window Valet installed.

Thanks again.

Check the connections to the wheel sensors. When one of them is loose those Warrnings will pop up.

Rember to NOT park on an incline, wait 20-30 sec after you start your car to drive and keep the front wheels straight for 10 or so feet when you first start out. This allows ABS to warm up properly.

Sounds kind a crazy but all these prevent the DIC Check Gauge warnnings of "SERVICE ABS, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL and SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING."

I had these messages and many others when my Power Control Module went bad. I have an extended warranty and found out that the PCM is covered by "The Generals" extended warranty. I believe it is good to 75,000 mi. Good Luck!

I had the same problem! It was the EBCM (electronic brake controll module) and the BMPV (not sure what that is). They had to replace both under warranty and have not had a problem since. It was nearly $3K for the repairs, luckily all covered under warranty.

AFVETTE

Dealer just called, said they found a "short" in one of the modules, (he named it but I forgot) they have a new one on order which will be in tomorrow am. They said the car will be ready by noon. And with the great spring time weather here in St Louis I was looking forward to getting out with the guys for a cruise. Cool.

I'll share the P/N when I see the final bill.

Cheers

Just got the car back from the dealer. They replace the EBTC (sic) module, P/N 10343433. Things are back to normal.
